Cleanse #1

Having 6oz of coffee is NOT cheating. At least that is how I am looking at it as. The most wonderful thing is that I have lost 8 pounds in a week. Nice. I know it is from walking and the strict calorie range. Regardless it feels nice to actually have a great result from lots of patience and planning. I took the supreme before my coffee this morning and in about 10 min I need to start the 1 of 4 cleanse drinks. Remember, it's a peeing cleanse so nothing explosive about it and I can go about my day as long as I still get in my 8 servings of water.

This is pretty much what I am following except adding a apple in there since I don't have any of the Delights. And no, not my schedule but it seemed to me the only one that really made sense in how to make the day go by and stay on track.

I just downed the 1st 4oz of the cleanse. It wasn't something that made me gag or shudder. I slammed it and then chased with water. But it does have a heavy berry tone with it and it is way better than the supreme. Ick. According to a few schedules online I can have up to 12 of the huge pill like snacks during the day. They are chewable, like big tums but some say they are better if you suck on them, we shall see.

Mid afternoon and I am still feeling good. I actually one have 1 more dose of the cleanse to take for the day. Dinner is going to kill me cause I bought all of this yummy food to grill and can't have a lick of it. But I haven't had any hunger pains or food cravings yet. I took the girls to the mall, then to McD's for lunch. I had apple slices and water. Apple slices are ok to have, the plan says 1/4 of a apple but the little snack bag at McD's isn't close to a whole apple. I think the bottom line is to not have solids that will take up time digesting or adding fats and calories. Anyhow after that we took a trip to Costco. I love their little grapefruit cups and having greek yogurt portioned out for me. I also splurged and got cod which will break up the chicken that I know is lean and something that I will eat. And I didn't have one single sample of anything. Nothing and there were a lot of good samples to have! I managed to suck on the vanilla snacks and did just fine. I don't think that they are gross and I kinda like them. I think that I have had 5 of them today and from what I understand you can have up to 12. Maybe I will slice up a apple before I go to bed. Tomorrow will be the last day of the cleanse. I am really proud of myself for almost being done with day 1. I am tired and cold. LOL!

I did complete the day but not without another apple and 1 more vanilla snack. We will see what tomorrow holds. I already passed up brunch. No way I am tossing all of today's work away. So much of it was mental. And a lot was physical. I am looking forward to Monday. :)
